So, now that we have a brand-new year, I assume that many of us have brand-new calendars....
Mine has adorable, snuggly rats.� How about yours?

My only calendar so far this year was a Christmas gift from my cousin of pastoral Vermont painted scenes. It's okay, but kind of fru-fru. I'm still looking for the traditional Frank Lloyd Wright or Maxfield Parrish calendar for my office.

Mine has a different dinosaur skeleton for each month and the glow in the dark. Yes I am a seven year old geek.

I bought 3 calendars for my office. A Get Fuzzy Page-A-Day, one with various posters from the New York is Book Country Book Fairs, and a New York Vertical calendar, featuring various interesting B&W perspectives of NYC.
I also have a calendar featuring The Glorious Nosebleed by Edward Gorey and an MC Escher Mini-Calendar. Plus, I bought the Tolkien Art Calendar for my brother, who gets one every year. I like calendars, especially buying them the day after Christmas when the selection is still decent and they're 50% off at most chain bookstores and mall calendar stores.
I've had Gorey, Escher, and Tolkien Calendars in the past. Multiple ones for Tolkien and Escher.
Hooray for the Gorey calendar! I have always wanted one...i didn't get this year's because it was The Glorious Nosebleed, and I have read that book too many times.
I second the Get Fuzzy at work... I have a handspring so I don't really use calendars but I need my cat fix at work. I was given a small magnetic one that I have on my fridge at home that shows a cute kitten picture each day.�Aaawwwww.... I gave my boyfriend a James Bond one (previous years included LOTR and Harry Potter)
european calendars start on Monday. It actually makes more sense. We call Saturday and Sunday the weekend, not the weekend/beginning.
The root for the word "Sabbath" means seven - Sabbath�is the seventh day,.� In the main creation story in Genesis, God created for six days, and rested on the seventh.� Jews observe the Sabbath on Saturday, making Sunday the first day of the week.� I think of Sunday as�the beginning end, and Saturday as the ending end - like a string, tied in a knot.� And so, both days are week "ends" When Christians started observing a Sunday Sabbath, Monday became the beginning of the week, to jive with the creation story.� In that view,�the weekend�is the last 2 days of the week.� So, in terms of matching the dominant culture, European calendars do make�more sense.� But not in terms of what we call the "weekend," and how we historically arrived at that designation. I *made* my own LOTR calendar.. thats right.. i sat on MSPaint for 2-something hours making a calendar outline... and then changed months and pictures for every month and added dates after i finished printing em.. I've got Haldir of Lorien, numerous pics of Merry and Sam, Pippin,Frodo,Aragorn,Arwen,Gandalf,and Faramir. woooooooo.... go me^_^ *yes.. i really need a life.. *��� *Returns to her book on speaking Elvish*

I have the Llewellyn Witches calendar.� It has essays for each month, moon phases, planetary movements, mythological info, planting schedules ... it rocks. And I have the township trash and recycling schedule calendar.� ;)� for about 4 years running i had the Witches calendar...i loved the little advice blurbs scattered through out the month...the illustrations were beautiful too...unfortunalty they've become so popular round here that there are none left after the holidays when all the calendars go 1/2 off (that's when i always get mine)

Didn't get any calendars for christmas... surprisingly... so for now I've only got the Subway calendar I got from the restaurant... picked up for free...
I usually pick up a Jeff Gordon wall calendar, and a tear-off calendar of some sort, usually also NASCAR- or sports-related. -- Pauley
